Henry Morton Robinson

Career of an American Catholic priest, from his first assignment to a poor parish in Boston to his appointment as cardinal, participating in the election of a pope in 1939.

Sweeping and powerful epic about a man torn between doubt and faith, between human and spiritual values. Follows an Irish American Catholic priest across two continents and through several turbulent decades. His rise to the upper echelons of the Church hierarchy parallels and is propelled by the social upheaval of the times.
